I'll Hold you Tight | Edwin Honoret

rock witchu

Everything felt like a dream. It's like my brain refuses to process the fact that these last couple of days actually happened. Although, ever since that night, I haven't built up the courage to text Edwin. I felt as if I was annoying him and I don't want to be that person to give him that type of energy. He never texted me either. Is this the end? Was it just a short little fling? Maybe. But I don't want to accept that my fantasy is over.
"SOLANAAAAA" Robyn yells.
"Wtf does this bitch want" i say under my breath,
"Yes?"
"I'm bored and hungry let's go out to eat"
"Bruh i'm broke"
"Pleaseeee i'll cover for you"
"Where to tho"
"In n out?"
"Nah"
"Urth?"
"Gross"
"Pizza?"
"yuh"
"You're driving"
"Ugh ok then".
We drove off into downtown LA to find an over priced pizza place at the grove. As we sat down I watched all the cars go by.
"Solana wtf is up with you"
"Idk, just like thinking"
"About Edwin?"
"Maybe..."
"Solana"
"Yes" I frowned.
"Girl you've known this boy personally for only a couple of days. How are you already attached?"
"Don't worry about it"
"Shut up and tell me. We're literally best friends"
"Ugh fine. But I don't even know to be honest. What Edwin and I have is just something I've never felt before. It's hard to explain but when we first met. I automatically knew, I just want to be with him. And be around him. All the time"
"That was cute, but ugly at the same time"
"Shut up you're such a whore"
"Whatever, anyways, why can't you just text him?"
"It's hard"
"It's literally not"
"I know but, what if he doesn't feel the same?"
"Then ask"
"Can you stop being a smart ass bro"
"Fine but,"
"But what, I literally just need you to listen"
"I'm sorry, go on"
"I just don't want to make a fool out of myself for all of this. Should I try?"
"Of course you should"
"What do I say?"
"Hey Edwin, these last couple of days have been amazing. I'd love to see you again. When are you free?"
"It's just that easy for you?"
"Yes. Now text him"
"Should I? I'm really conflicted"
"Just do it youre so annoying"
"Fine I will".
I grabbed my phone from my purse and decided to text him exactly what Robyn told me to say.
"Ok I did it"
"Now, the waiting game"
*Notification rings*
"Well that was fast" Robyn said with a smirk
"You talk too much you know that?"
"No shit now read what he said"
I reluctantly grabbed my phone and looked at the message.
"How does tonight sound? 6 o clock, melrose, lacma, and end the night at Griffith"
"GO GO GO"
"NO NO NO, I have midterms next week and I want to study now before I get dead brain later"
"Solana it starts with one time to deny to hangout, to all the time. Literally just go"
"I hate you but you're not wrong"
"Go"
"Fine"
"YAYAYAYA"
"Shut up"
"Can't wait for tea time after tonight" she said with a scoff.
"PleASE".

Hours later...

"Solana!" Someone yelled from outside
"Wtf goes on" I whispered to myself.
*Notification rings*
(Edwin: "look outside lol").
I peaked my head through the window to see Edwin outside of an uber just waiting for me outside the building. As I quickly finished doing my makeup, I ran out the apartment taking the elevator down, and finally reuniting with him. I ran into his arms while he kissed my forehead.
"We're acting like we just didn't see each other not too long ago"
"Shut up Edwin, that's lowkey long"
"If you say so".
The uber's car was dingy and the driver looked like he was not having it. When I sat down, Edwin, for some reason, sat next to me in the middle seat and gripped my thigh. It was nice because it kind of felt like he's got me.
"Where in Melrose are we going exactly?"
"I don't know, let's just go with it. Maybe rent birds and go around, find food, enjoy the moment. Afterwards we can go to Lacma, then Griffith. Like basic LA shit"
"Literally. Basic LA shit at its finest"
"Doesn't hurt sometimes..." he said while glaring
"I was being sarcastic dumb ass"
"I know i'm just teasing"
"Wipe that smile off your face you look dumb"
"Well I look cute, and you know it" he said while laying his head on me.
CAN THIS MAN SHUT UP BEFORE I GIVE HIM MY WHOLE HEART.
"We're here" The uber turned to us.
"Alright thanks man, here's a tip"
I admire how kind Edwin is no matter what.

He grabbed my hand and sped off to the sidewalk making me trip into him.
"Fuck" I said under my breath.
"Don"t worry I've gotchu"
shutupshutupshutupshutup.
I gave him a kiss on the cheek and clutched onto his arm.
"Look there's some birds over there, let's go rent them. it's easier to use and get around anyways" Edwin suggests.
"Thing is, how do you even ride it? I've only ever used a razor scooter"
"Girl it's so easy, you just hop on and balance, like this". He proceeded to glide with ease up and down the block tryna flex the fact he knows how to.
"Ok your turn Solana"
"Ugh Ed I dont feel like it"
"Ah hell no, I didn't take you out on a cute ass date for you to be like that. Cmon, just try"
"Ugh fine". As I got on I could feel it be unsteady, I pressed the button to accelerate and I fell on my ass immediately making me bleed literally everywhere.
"Edwin what the fuck owwwwwww"
"Fuck are you ok Solana?"
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE IM OKAY" I try to let escape out my mouth on the verge of tears. He picked me up and put me on a bench near by.
"Shit what do I do?"
"You're so- UGH never mind, go into my backpack I have cotton pads and alcohol pads and bandaids"
"Damn why you so prepared"
"I don't know, maybe just in case I go on a date with someone like you insisting me to try something I could potentially hurt myself with"
I just stared at him irritated even though I know deep down this is all my fault. I felt bad for being so snarky towards him.
"Here"
"Thank you"
"Lemme hel-"
"No it's alright Ed i've got it"
He looked at the ground with his face like "I fucked up".
"Hey look I'm sorry for that attitude"
"No I get it, I shouldn't have persuaded you to do anything"
"It's alright, let's just focus and get back to where we were"
"Can we try and ride the birds?"
"Ugh fine, but just show me how to operate it properly. I could probably get the hang of it"
He guided me step by step on how each button works. In the next 5 minutes we were gliding down the streets of Melrose. While we were riding I look back to just see the biggest smile on Edwins face. I felt like 🥺.
Finally we decided to find somewhere to eat. While waiting, Edwin went on about how excited he is for the future of PRETTYMUCH.
"We got this song we made last night. It has such good RNB vibes the fans will love it"
"Aw i'm excited. What's it called?"
"It's called Rock Witchu"
"That's hella dope... so when can I hear it"
"When it releases"
"Cmon not now?"
"Nah you're still a fan, I don't want to risk it. I mean I trust you but just extra precautions"
"Nah i get it. It's all good".
After we ate, we decided to just take our time in Melrose and explore. Plus I didn't feel like riding the scooters again. We went into the many thrift stores and Edwin was just styling me.
"Yo Solana this shirt would look hella dope on you, oh and with these pants, fire"
"Alright i gotchu"
(even tho lowkey it was ugly).
But we had a good time, just being creative with our own styles, sharing our ideas. It's like our vibe was just meant for each other.
